Chemistry
1 answer:
ArbitrLikvidat [17]3 years ago
6 0

The process of thermal decomposition of organic materials (carbon based materials) at very high temperature and absence of oxygen is known as pyrolysis.

The temperature for such process is generally 430 °C or 800 °F. This causes simultaneous change in physical phase and chemical composition of the organic material. The process is irreversible in nature.

The resultant products mostly have more useful properties than the original one. Thus, to bring the greater value to the common organic material and waste, the idea of pyrolysis is important.

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Exothermic reactions feel hot

Endothermic reactions feel cool

Explanation:

In an exothermic reaction, heat is given out by the system. The energy of the reactants is greater than that of the products hence the excess energy is given off as heat. The reaction vessel feels hot.

In an endothermic reaction, the energy of products is greater than that of the reactants hence energy is taken into the system and the reaction vessel feels cool.
